“Basically he will be held without bond,” said Bill Bishop, chief assistant state attorney in Okaloosa County.

Menz is scheduled to be tried July 14.

Menz and his wife, Virginia Lynch, became subjects of a nationwide search after they allegedly skipped out of a supervised visit that was held at a Crestview Burger King.

The Department of Children and Family Services had removed their son, Emmanuel, from the care of Menz and Lynch based on “abuse,” records show. Prosecutors were unable following Wednesday’s hearing to address specifics of the abuse alleged.

Emmanuel was still in the care of Menz and Lynch when he was located safe in Henderson, Nevada.

Menz has been charged with two felony kidnapping-related crimes and Lynch with one.

Lynch is scheduled to appear in court June 17 to enter a plea. Her court date has been set for Aug. 11.

Joseph Reosti has been hired to defend Menz. He did not return a Wednesday afternoon phone call.
